Getting the machine to channel its inner Ross Ashby. Why it's a Cybernetic bust: """AI largely abandoned the closed-loop dynamical framing. LLMs act only when prompted and, in Ashby’s terms, have no essential variables, nothing at stake. They aren’t models of what a bacterium is."""

Sidenote: I'd really appreciate it if you repost this, if only because getting the damn thing to display on Bsky with a decent alt text was something of a labour of love. And also because, obviously, I want everyone in the universe to know this is coming.

Back when I worked on iD (the default OpenStreetMap editor) I designed over 270 bespoke map icons to illustrate various feature types. These are free and open source. A guided gallery of my icon work is now available on my portfolio: waysidemapping.org/projects/id-...

Organic Maps organicmaps.app is fast Android application for using OpenStreetMap data locally. After you have downloaded map data for the areas of world you are interested of, it works offline. Useful if you happen to travel, because that can save you literal money from a mobile data roaming costs.

with #Grok being in the news for switching to a nazi personality, it’s time to revisit this project from the beginning of the year, where i “interviewed” a range of LLMs to glean their inner “personalities”

A good option is organicmaps.app which uses OpenStreetMap for data so has good footpath and bridleway data, and works fully offline once you download local maps
